The latest episode of Benchtalk Podcast is Mark Chu, an artist who calls New York home. Mark joins host Tom Gerrard for a discussion about the emotional journey of the creative process, his history as a classical pianist and how that informs his art practice today, and also his eventual rejection of the classical world for the synthetic sounds of electronic music.
They discuss the role of music in his work, and the removal of it – and they get into his history as a food critic, going to Melbourne University, and eventually navigating being an artist in New York City.
This is episode 139 of Benchtalk – a podcast that started three years ago to delve into the minds of artists and creatives to find out how they found success. We’re proud to be a sponsor of the show.
